He said he is delighted with positive development in the bilateral ties in recent years.

The guest spoke of the great achievements Viet Nam has obtained during its nation-building and development process, suggesting the country continue coordinating with Iran in trade and agriculture.

He took the opportunity to convey Iranian President Hassan Rouhani's invitation to visit Iran to Vietnamese President Truong Tan Sang, and Iranian FM Javad Zarif's invitation to visit Iran and attend the Ministerial Meeting of the Non-Aligned Movement Coordinating Bureau from June 9-10 to FM Minh.

Earlier, the Iranian official held talks with his Vietnamese counterpart Vu Hong Nam within the framework of the two ministries' sixth political consultation, during which they discussed specific measures to intensify the bilateral multifaceted cooperation in politics-diplomacy, trade, agriculture, science-technology and education.

Both agreed to boost all-level delegation exchanges, continue coordinating closely at international forums, and support the two countries' enterprises to study each other's market in order to raise two-way trade in the next years.— VNS
